Why system resilience should mainly be the job of the OS, not just third-party applications

The article argues that system resilience—especially recovery from failures like BSODs caused by low-level software updates—should be managed by the operating system rather than by individual third-party applications. It proposes an OS-driven rollback mechanism that preserves and restores the last known-good state when a boot failure is detected, similar to how display drivers can fall back safely, and emphasizes collaboration between OS and software vendors to make recovery robust and secure.
